OFlaherty, the young chimpauzee who ar
rived last week from Banana Point, Africa.
Miss O'Flaherty, is still occupying apart
ments in the west end of the monkey house,
and as yet has not seen her future lord and
master. She has held daily receptions
since her arrival, and Is much admired for
her amiabilIty and general sweetness of
disposition. Those who are best AGO uaint-
ed with the young lady say that Mr.. Crow
ley is a lucky monkey in gaining so accom-
plished and charming bride.
Mr.. Crowley, who is about to become q
Benedict, is still in his large and airy
apartment in the Lion House. He watches
with great interest the carpenters and iron
workers who are engaged in preparing a
cage to the south of his room for the &C.
commodation Of Miss O'Flaherty. Mr..
Crowley has, of course, not vet met his
future bride, but Mr.. Jake Cook, the keep
er, has told him all about her, aad he is
impatient to see her and claim her as his
own. She will probably move into the
cage next door to Mr.. Crowley's sanctum
in about week, and he will have an op-
| portunity to see her, but at first through
| iron bars,
Mr.. Cock will act as a chaperone Tin ths
absence of one OF the gentler sex), and
| will arr aDge all the matters appertainine

| ding. Among Others who are expected Il
be present at the ceremony is Henry E
Dixey, who will give his famous monkey
"reminiscences at the wedding breakfast
Invitations for the reception are in grea

WILL TAXES BE REDUCED?
Views of Leading Dem Dcia's Relative to
the Tariff Question.

Views of Leading Dem Ocia,s Relative to
the Tariff Question.
ST. LOUIS, July 13.-The Republican will
publish tomorrow a number of letters
from leading Democratic Consressmen
who have been conspicuous in connection
with finance and tariff. The letters are in
answer to series of inteTrog atorles recently
sent them by the Republican. These are:
(1) Is there practical basis of comprO-
mise through which the Democrats in the
house can unite? ~ Would an equal cut
of internal and tariff taxes afford such a
loss? (3) Assuming this acceptable, is il
feasible to carry the element OF compro-
mise into the selection of the tariff sched-
ulec (4) Are there concessions of any
kind the majority of the party can offer,
without sacrifice of principle2 (5) Would
caucus further the accomplishment Of
the desired end?
Speaker Carlisle says in his opinion, the
revenue viii be reduced at the next ses-
sion. The necessity of an immediate re-
duction of the revenue IN order
to prevent large accumulation is so ap-
parent that Congress can not afford to fur
Their delay in the consideration OF this
question. There will be differences Of
opinion, but these can be reconciled on
some basis which Will secure substantial
relief.
Benton MCMILLAN, of Tennessee, says an
equal or nearly equal cut of International
and tariff taxes would afford q basis of
compromise.
Representative Breckenridge, of Ark ans as
knows of no basis for compromise. lie
thinks the equal cut of internal tariff taxes
has been given fair trial and he could sug-
gest DO concession that would bring about
a compromise.
Representative Breckenridge, o. Ken
lucky, Is in favor OF real revision of the
tariff, and the increase of the free list by
placing thereon raw materials and neces-
saries.
Speaker Randall. of Pennsy lvania. be-
lieved that compromise could be effected
by fair and Just revision OF the present
tariff. He favored abolishing the internal
revenue system.
S. S. Cox, of New York, believed there
was basis for compromise. He knew oil
several measures which would facilitate the
collection of coustom duties to which no
objection could be raised from any party.
He thought caucus necessary to accom-
plish harmonious eud.
Representative Collins, OF Massachusetts,,
thought compromise through cauc Us
probable.
Geo. d. Wise. of Virginia, and John S.
Henderson, of North Carolina, strongly ad-
vocatss repeal of internal taxes. especially

Inability of Some OF The Government En-
8 IIOyes to Get Along on Their Salaries.
Washington d. c., July 49, Special. i
Judge Ed. @. Baskirk, who las been a wear
engaged as examiner OF the Pension Office,
is doing well in his place here. Speaking
of the inability of some of the Govern
ment employees TO get along on their sala-
ritS. he said to the SENTINEL reporter that
he had found no difficulty in saving money
on his allowance, and had purchased a
house and made some payments on it. 1t
is all in the habits of the clerks. He who
can not get along on the liberal salary
which the Government pays has got some
pretty bad leak some where. as for living
it is no higher than it is In indianapolis
Fuel, groceries, oysters and fish are
cheaper. Considering what you get
in your house, which is furnished with
ranges, latrobes and bath rooms, rents
are cheaper. Meat, eggs and butter are the
only things that are higher. Tne trouble
among the clerks reminds men of an Incl
dent that occurred when Judge Niblack
was in Congress. He had procured a young
man place. 1t was not long until the
clerk came to him and stated that his wife
would have to have servant, and that it
would be necessary to have an increase in
salary. Judge NibIack thought it strange
that they needed a servant, as they had
always go. along without one in Indiana.
But he yielded 70 the importunties Of
the young man and got the advance in
pay. 1t was not long, however, until the
clerk returned to Judge Niblack and in
formed him that his wife could not get
along with one servant, and that he could
not support two servants on his salary, and
therefore must have another increase.
Judge Niblack then let loose g little tor
Dado and spoke in teras more forcible
than polite. The clerk retreated in confu-
sion, for the Judge threatened to have him
dismissed at once. He was from that time
content to hold his position on his salary,
and found life was endurable with only one
servant.

The Cat In History.

The Egyptian name for the cat was
Chaou, or, according to some Egyp-
tologists, Maou, the latter name be.
ing initiative of the animal cry. The
familiar name of "Puss," apparently,
has come to us from the Egyptian.
The origin Of the word "tabby" is,
perhaps, not generally known. 1t il

ular kind of waved silk imported
from Bagdad, and SO named after the
locality where IL was made.
One of the most ancient represent
atiobs Of the cat is TO be found in the
Metropolis Of Thebes, which contains
the tomb Of King Hama OF the elsv-
enth dynasty. A statue Of this king
represents him as standing erect with
his favorite cat Boubaki at his feet
Plutarch. in his treatise on Isis
and Osiris states that the image Of
n she cat was placed at the top Of the
Slstrum as nm emblem of the moon I;
partly, perhaps. because she moves
about by night, but chiefly because
her eyes dilate and grow large at the
pfnil moon, contracting again at the

Egypt their antiquity is known to be
even greater as shown by monumen.

munmied bodies in very ancient

great care Of their cats while alive,
but honored them when dead. going
into mourning and shaving their eye-
brows.
1t has been coujectured from a
painting taken from II tomb ut The
bes, aud now In the British Museum,
that the cat was taught by the ancient
Egyptians to retrieve. The painting
in question depicts an Egyptian fow-
